The Toolbox Murders was nothing special to me. It was just another one of those "nothing" slasher films that came out and was over shadowed by [rightfully so] the superior Friday the 13th and Nightmare on Elm Street franchises.

I love slasher movies too. I agree, there are a lot of bad ones out there. But I find myself very forgiving with slasher movies. I'll sit through a mediocre slasher film like Happy Birthday to Me more willingly than a mediocre film from another genre.
